7 Years of Wedded Bliss

Not really today, but Sunday is our 7th wedding anniversary. We decided to celebrate tonight so that our special day would not be overshadowed by the Super Bowl. We enjoyed a dinner date here without the kiddos. It was really good. My favorite part was the double brownie with a layer of mousse in between. Mmmmmmmmm.I love my kiddos, but I love alone time with hubs, too. I am lucky to have such a great husband.

That's right, I'm rockin' out tonight!

Absolutely Everything

AP has decided that she can do absolutely everything by herself. This includes, but is not limited to, dressing, feeding, bathing, walking up stairs, putting her jacket on, taking her jacket off, opening candy wrappers, using the telephone, getting in the car, buckling her seat belt, feeding the dog, washing her brother's hair, it goes on and on. In reality, she still needs a little bit of help, but boy does that make her furious! She has thrown herself down in the floor multiple times a day for the last week or so. So far, we are ignoring this. Here is our independent girl eating her yogurt at dinner tonight.

It may look like there is snot all over her face, but it is actually a banana yogurt/mac & cheese mixture!

Baking Fool

In the past 24 hours, I have made 3 chicken lasagnas, baked 2 batches of brownies, 1 dozen cookies, and 2 loaves of bread. Most of it went to church tonight with hubs for his men's Bible study. But, the rest went to some of our good friends who recently brought home their 3rd baby girl. Baby E is a cutie!

The Zoo Run Run

My girlfriends and I ran the Zoo Run Run at the Nashville Zoo today. It was a 5K. We all finished in the 900's out of 2000 people, so not too bad overall, but I finished FIVE minutes slower than the last 5K I ran before AP came home. I've got some work to do. Here we are before the run, one friend and I got in the zoo spirit and painted animal faces on ourselves.
The kiddos, hubs, and I went to eat dinner after the run at Ruby Tuesday's. We are big fans of the Turkey Minis. This is what my face looked like while we ate. I got several "nice whiskers" comments.

A Little Better

AP is feeling a little better today. She is still not eating, but she has had enough energy to throw a few tantrums :) We knew she was sick when that stopped! Thanks for the well wishes. Balloons from Nanna was just the pick-me-up she needed this afternoon.

C even got balloons so he wouldn't feel left out, thanks Nanna!
